what the oligarchs [and fascists] don’t want you to understand:
the same underlying technologies enabling this power concentration
can be architected to resist it. The key isn’t begging for better
billionaires or smarter regulations—it’s recognizing that
decentralization isn’t a technical preference,
it’s a democratic necessity.
backstory:
fascists are winning because they’ve built a direct pipeline
from concentrated technological power to concentrated political power.
This isn’t about technology being inherently dangerous—it’s about how
distorted Wall Street incentives drove us toward digital infrastructure
that mirrors authoritarian power structures.
[fascists] discovered that when digital platforms become centralized
and authoritarian, democratic institutions will follow.
